My Kukuburi review!
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Kukuburi is a beautifully drawn comic, with wonderfully surreal landscapes and characters. And even though there’s a serious tone to the whole comic, the art keeps it form becoming oppressive or stifling. However, the other elements of the comic aren’t quite as strong-and I worry that as we learn more about the story and the [...]
5ideways Review.
Monday, November 5th, 20075ideways is a comic about the world gone wrong, as the laws of physics are completely altered in unpredictable ways. My immediate impression of 5ideways was that it had a lot of potential. But after finishing the comic thus far, I think there hasn’t been much use of that potential, and I can only hope [...]
A review of 5ideways
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007As a self professed study of the surreal and macabre, a comic like 5ideways bearing both of these aspects should appeal to me more than not.

It’s like Abian meets Rice Boy…
Monday, October 29th, 20075ideways is an exercise in surrealism, but it takes a much darker and grittier angle than other comics in the same vein.

Rice Boy Review.
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Rice Boy is an odd comic, with many odd people, places and things in it. But I enjoyed it, and I think it might be the only ‘odd’ comic that I would recommend to anyone who was interested in learning about webcomics. As strange as it can get, it seems very open and easy to [...]
A Review of Rice Boy
Sunday, October 21st, 2007Cute yet grotesque, bizarre but recognizable… this is the surrealist madman world of Rice Boy! This is a story of a small meek and largely helpless character who travels a great land on the legends of others, but to what end? Can Rice Boy escape his fate? Or will he embrace it?
Rice Boy is not [...]
Rice Boy: The Review! (Coming to a blog near you!)
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007Rice boy is a very surrealistic comic about a boy with no arms or legs who is chosen quite against his will to be the fulfiller of an extremely vague prophecy that leaves everything to doubt and clarifies nothing at all. It somehow involves a thrice-transfiguration and an iron tower of some sort.
To be honest, [...]
